In my opinion Canada is a beautiful place to live because we have many parks, mountains, beautiful lakes, and forests.
My favourite place in Canada is where I live, which is Northern Ontario in a small town called New Liskeard. We only have a population of 10,000 or so. Everybody in New Liskeard basically know each other because of living in a small town.
My favourite seasons living in the North are summer and winter because that's when I can play/do my favourite sports, waterskiing, and snowmobiling/Snowmobile racing. For me waterskiing is something I have the prevelage to do because I have a cottage near a beautiful lake with amazing people. I like to do all sorts of waterskiing like, slalom ski (one ski), waterski jumping (is kind of like ski jumping you do in the winter, but you are getting towed behind a boat then you hit the jump and go flying) it's really fun, trick skiing (you have either one or two skis and you do tricks on them like going backwards and stuff) and, wakeboarding (it's like snowboarding because you have two feet stuck together on a board. The only difference is, is you are getting towed behind a boat on water). Snowmobiling and snowmobile racing are some of my favourite things to do in the winter because you get to go outside, find some fresh powder (fluffy snow), and play. Snowmobiling you also get to spend time with your family,u and friends. Snowmobile racing on the other hand is a bit different because you go to different places in Ontario and Québec, and you race around a circle-ish track, while going over jumps trying to be the first one to finish the race. Snowmobile racing is also known as Snowcross. What my favourite part about it is, is you get to meet amazing people, who then become your friends. The staff are also really nice.
Living in Canada is a prevelage because we are a free country so we don't really have any terrorism. We are also very lucky that we don't have to scrounge for food and water. Also because both girls and boys get to go to school and we don't have things like slaves in stuff. (I hope this doesn't hurt anyone becasue if it does let me know in the comments and I can change it)
In Canada we have different provinces and territories, and some of my favourite ones are British Columbia also known as BC. Alberta is also great, so is Manitoba, and Québec.
BC is located on the very west side of Canada. It is right next to the ocean. BC has many great things about it, such as the mountains, and the ocean because their mountains are great for skiing on and really fun to go snowmobiling. In BC they are home to many amazing parks, the Vancouver aquarium, and the Canadian Rockies. BC just held the 2010 Olympics games.
Next Alberta. Alberta is the next province east of BC. Alberta is also home to many spectacular parks, the dinosaur provincial park, it's really cool because they have a museum and it has a lot of dinosaur skeletons. The Calgary stampede is one of the most common things you would here if people talked bout Alberta because it is one of Canada's biggest stampedes every year. The west Edmonton mall is home to one of the biggest indoor waterparks. It has a wavepool, slides, kidee pool, and a regular pool. Plus the mall includes a spot where they put on shows with animals. Alberta has also hosted the Olympics.
Manitoba is the province just west of Ontario. Manitoba also has astounding parks. It has many museums like the Manitoba museum, and the Royal Aviation museum of Western Canada. Manitoba also has a few forts such as Fort Garry, Prince of Wales Fort, and Fort Rouge. Manitoba has hosted the Pan Am games, and uses the pool for a many of things.
Last but not least Québec. Québec is just to the east of Ontario and has the most population of people who speak French. Québec in the winter has something they call 'Le Carnival d'hiver' in English it's the winter carnival. It's a big deal in Québec because they celebrate winter and have fun. Some of the attractions include, the international snow sculpture competition, really cool night parades, and ice canoe races as a few examples. They even have a mascot named 'Bonhomme'. He's basically a giant snowman. Québec also has other attractions like Old Québec, Montmorency Falls, Château Frontenac, the battlefields park, Colisée Pepsi (Pepsi arena in English which is a hockey rink), and also an armoury.
These are the things I like about living in Canada, why I like living living here, and great places to visit if you ever come.
This is snowcross. I am the one who has the Orange coat.
